Painting again this morning, spent all yesterday trying to get the drawing done, today I want to get it onto the canvas and maybe start actually putting paint on it too.

Ooh are they the paintings for NIM? Are you up to date with them now?

Dinah93

Nope not at all, still owe him 2, and a third by the end of the month! But I just had to get this one out of my head first so this is a completely seperate one which can go into my portfolio towards trying to set up as a painter at some point.

yeah well I just posted a massive thing and them firefox crashed and I lost it!
basically....
The meet sounded really fun I'm glad you had fun
I am not doing so well on the mse front but i did blag some free champagne for my birthday from a restaurant yesterday
I also got the bf a powerball for £2 at a carbootsale instead of £12 it is on amaxon
I am struggling to revise which is rubbish as I have 4 exams coming up in 3 weeks!
Dinah - are you guys sorted with the MBing? I really want to get into it because it has no tax implications etc (like MSing does..) but I don't understand it yet!!
Think I might sign up to my first credit card through Quidco but I don't think ill be accepted as I have no credit rating (hence the want to get a CCard to start one - and also the possible free cashback )
oh yeah Birde, I'm working my way through the excel tutorial! its going well thank you
enjoy the bank hols guys!
xx

Oooh grats on the free champagne!

We're getting there on understanding the MB. Apparently the post office is an easy scorer and you are almost guaranteed to get a card with them, might be worth a shot?

Ooo Wendz you must be excited about your hols - and Happy it's so good that your figures have been updated to shrink your debt so much!

I listed some of the Swarovski crystals on an ebay auction at 99p, but everybody waited to the end and outsniped each other. So they only went for £1.04! I have listed some more as buy it nows at a higher price - trying out some different tactics.

Also did my Quidco today - keeping the £5 a day challenge going. Applied for some Tesco sims and cancelled Napster. Some really good no spenders on there at the moment - Napster £5 and emusic £4. You also get to download free tracks - bonus.

Also I applied to Guys' and St Thomas' for a free dental check up by their students. Not sure about having major work done but hopefully a filling will be ok! Otherwise there wouldn't be much change from £90, as our local surgery requires a joining deposit of £40?!

Tinkerbel I applied for the Vanquis card through Quidco and got approved. I've never had a credit card before and my rating is not great due to lack of info, moving round etc. It's a disgusting interest rate but I only applied to build my credit rating (and Quidco cash helped) so will be paying everything off in full.

My bank holiday has been very boring so far! Hope you're all having a lovely time.

:cool:
